We are now certified divers! Yeah!
Arriving in Patong beach we booked ourselves onto a 3 day PADI course where we completed 4 12-13meter dives, 5 theroy modules and an exam (which I scored 98 percent in!!!) The dive school even awarded us with there dive school t-shirts! How exciting!!!! The dives were amazing. As well as completing our skills (mask removing and emergency ascents) we got to see Nemo (the real one) a honey combed moray, lion fish and a frog fish. The frog fish was so funny as they are unable to swim having to walk on the sea bed. The one we saw looked like an old punk rocker proping up the bar.The diving was so much fun that we have enrolled onto the Advanced course where we will be certified to dive down to 30meters although I am not sure why I agreed to this as one of the 7 dives you have to complete is at night!!! I am not looking forward to that however we are promised excellent visibility during the day, allowing us to possibly see turtles, leopard sharks and lots more. James has assured me that if marine life is going to bite anything it will be his masshussive buttocks first!!! That's a relief.
We will be heading to the Similan Islands to do the advanced course aboard (what looks like) arather nice boat and then head for Khao Lak to start our journey north. Negotiating the train system should be fun as it's proving complicated so far then off to Hua Hin.
Sorry there aren't more pics. The system wont upload them. Will post some when in Khao Lak.
